USTA
Recreational Coach Workshops
Training for coaches and instructors
A Recreational Coach Workshop is an interactive, on-court training
program designed for tennis teachers and coaches
working with players at the recreational level.
Taught by a specially trained, certified teaching
professional, this active 6-hour session covers:
• Teaching large groups
• The games-based approach to coaching
• Running effective team practices
• Games and drills every coach should know
Who attends a Recreational Coach Workshop?
These workshops are an excellent primer for new coaches
as well as a valuable refresher course for those with teaching
experience but who seek more current methods and effective tools. Past
attendees include:
• Parents seeking the basics in coaching and organizing team tennis
• Park and Recreation instructors, high school, and seasonal coaches
• Coaches teaching kids and adults who are new to the game
• Current players seeking part-time teaching jobs
Upon completion of the six-hour workshop, attendees
will:
• Be eligible for the United States Professional Tennis
Association (USPTA) Recreational Coach Classification
The USPTA
Recreational Coach category is designed for people who may already be
teaching tennis - as high school coaches, at recreational facilities or
in other part-time situations - but not immediate candidates for careers
as full-time teaching professionals.
To become a Recreational Coach, applicants must attended a USTA
